Do you think we'll one day see a resurgence of 90s style slapstick space anime someday?
>>
Space anime fell off after sword art online, if you ask me. Kids wanted to be chuunibyou fantasy role players instead of making mecha models in their rooms.

Iirc Trigun wanders around in a desert and isn't afraid of anything. Fine by me. Not into space.

I'm not pretending not to like anything. They aren't that good in the first place and only get propped up because people watched them when they were 13 years old on TV.

Funnily, the series that started the urban fantasy chuuni boom of the 00s was Boogiepop, which was VERY heavily channeling darker 80s vibes. In the 90s, D&D style fantasy series kind of took over as the main thing. Boogiepop was kind of a modernization of the edgy types of stories that were popular in the 80s. It just swapped "near-future sci-fi" for "urban fantasy" (but it's still got remnants of that, like the evil technology cult).

I'm actually surprised there hasn't been a big trend-swinger in a while. We've been stuck on "isekai fantasy" for like 15 years now. Maybe the Narou pipeline is TOO effective for its own good...

>>287794985
No, there actually have been some big titles that changed trends. We went from "cheat skill isekai" to "reincarnated as a (gimmick) isekai" to "I reincarnated in another world, now I mostly just chill isekai".

Boogiepop wasn't popular enough to shift the zeitgeist.

It would be easier to argue that .Hack was the first to move the needle because they did the 'trapped in an online game.' thing first.

...

BUT MOST OF .HACK WAS JUST A REHASH OF LAIN!

...And Lain was just another Rei Ayanami inspired character anyway.

And Rei Ayanami was suspiciously similar to both Oyuki from Urusei Yatsura, and the Mr. Freeze adaptation from Batman the animated series.

My god, the rabbit hole never ends.

>Boogiepop wasn't popular enough to shift the zeitgeist.
Are you stupid? Do you also think Neon Genesis NGE and ToHeart weren't popular enough to single-handedly warp the entire future of otaku culture?

Boogiepop is LITERALLY the most important light novel ever written. Not Haruhi. Not Sword Art Online. Boogiepop. The light novel industry might not have even survived into modern times without it.

It isn't from that era, but it's written like it is. Probably why it wasn't that popular with people.

No. Not Slayers. Boogiepop.

People do not understand how vital this series was for the entire light novel industry. It came out right as Akihabara culture was emerging in Japan and basically did for light novels what Evangelion did for anime. Dengeki Bunko was a MAJOR industry driver throughout the 00s entirely because Boogiepop elevated them so damn much, and every other bunko magazine suddenly had to step up their game to compete with them. It actually did what westerners think Haruhi did.

Damn I might rewatch this series now. I bet it hits different as an adult.

>>287793926
They wanted Vash to remain the "good hecking guy that doesn't kill" so they gave that job to someone else. It's like how in the Yakuza games all the villains are killed by other villains so the main character isn't seen as bad.

it could happen and you wouldn't even notice because five anime over ten years would be too slow for you to pick up on the trend and most of them wouldn't live up to your desires since they'd reflect the current zeitgeist and not the ine you're nostalgia-trapped over
>>
>>287795366
You're tracing the bloodline wrong.

Boogiepop Narita-tier ensemble LN brainworms urban fantasy boom every chuuni author realizing you can just smash Jung + schoolgirls + non-linear timelines together and call it profound.

.Hack didn’t “rehash” Lain, it diluted it. Lain was pure late‑90s cyber dread filtered through Eva-induced existentialism. .Hack was “what if that, but we can sell games too.”

And Rei wasn’t inspired by Oyuki so much as she was Anno distilling every kuudere/ethereal alien girl archetype into a marketable trauma mascot. After that, the industry cloned her in bulk like it was a government mandate.

The rabbit hole doesn’t end because anime is 40% influence, 40% merchandising strategy, and 20% “what if we just did Gundam again but slightly sideways.”

You can keep digging and eventually the entire modern LN ecosystem just collapses back into Eva, Gundam, and Leiji Matsumoto smoking in a dark room somewhere.
